Flood warnings after DeKalb funnel cloud

May 13, 2011

A severe thunderstorm expired for central DeKalb County until 2:45 p.m., but DeKalb and parts of nearby counties were under flash flood warnings until this evening after officials in DeKalb spotted a funnel cloud there, according to the National Weather Service.

At 1:52 p.m., law enforcement reported a funnel cloud north of Waterman, about 12 miles south of the city of DeKalb, according to the weather service.

A torndao warning and a severe thunderstorm warning expired after being spurred by the same storm that spawned the funnel cloud.
